RE: Five Things That Separate Steemit From Other Social Media Sites
Very interesting article.
Steem has been my primary form of social media since 2017. I barely visit Twitter/X or Facebook now, and have never touched others like Instagram.
I have learnt so much on the platform - from greatly improving my writing skills to introducing me to the fascinating world of broadcast media with my 'radio shows' on MSP Waves.
I was lucky enough to live through the 'golden years' of 2017/18 when the STEEM price was riding high and activity on the platform was at its peak.
Since then Steem went through a dark period with mass redundancies at Steemit and then the split with Hive. But now I feel we are coming out the other side.
Steem is a blockchain of massively untapped potential.
As the global spread of the platform becomes better balanced again, and more people with the right skills and the right motivations join the chain, I do believe Steem has a very bright future ahead.
It is a pity Coingecko didn't mention Steem in their video - they used to be active on here.
I've seen some people who have the right skills and motivation leave the platform, but some people still stick around. It seems like there should be specific research done on why they left, was it because the rules were too strict and the challenges were boring? Even though there have been a lot of big changes, how to bring them back.
There will be many reasons - but lack of rewards will be the main one for most people.
This is the big question mark why other social media that do not give prizes to their users are still always in demand? Here we can conclude that the main purpose of everyone who is here is looking for prizes, not for reasons of hobby writing alone.
I also thought what if the burnsteem25 program was replaced by giving beneficiaries to a certain account, for example booming05 / SC10 and so on so that in the future it could provide wider support to many users, what do you think?
This would have to be voluntary I guess?
People might as well just set up a new curation account and decide to give beneficiaries to it?
Yes, it is voluntary like the burnsteem25 program.
Yes, the main goal is to create new curation account by assigning beneficiaries to the selected account, these accounts should belong to the Steemit team completely so that they can continue their programs and support to many users. Instead of constantly burning them but until now it has not had a positive impact on the Steem price.
